"Fix it," Sam says firmly when Dean doesn’t reply. "Fix it before you regret it because our lives are dangerous, and we've lost too many people, and you never know when it's going to fall apart." "It would be a lot easier if he was open to fixing it," Dean bites out. He's trying here, he's trying really fucking hard, but Cas doesn't want to hear it. "Maybe you're not saying the right thing," Sam suggests.(A season 15 fix-it fic that starts from 15x03 The Rupture, and diverges fairly significantly.)
Ah yes, the “divorce arc”.
Remember how canon gave us this wonderful, yet painful gift and we were supposed to be normal about it?
Good times 😆
As you can expect, Dean and Castiel’s relationship is fairly strained in the beginning of this story. Castiel is (rightfully) pissed, Dean is pissed, partly at himself, and nobody is really happy about any of it. And neither seriously has the time to deal with all of this as Chuck is still out there, Billie shows up out of the blue with a secret plan she doesn’t bother to tell anyone about and Jack is suddenly coming back from the dead. Oh, and let’s not forget the Empty deal that is still hanging above Castiel’s head.
Yes, it’s a lot and even though it seems that no one in their right mind would have the chance to wreck their brain over a seemingly shattered relationship with their best friend faced with the apocalypse of all apocalypses, Dean sure as hell spends a lot of time and energy on it.
So if you’re up for a rollercoaster of emotions with some engaging plot somewhere thrown into the mix, you seriously should give this story a try!
